These guys should be getting the death penalty, along with other drug dealers.
Louisiana apparently needs more help at their ‘Angola’ prison farm.
It’s their historic pattern that when they need more prison labor that they start prosecuting misdemeanors as felonies and then the sentences are absurdly severe.

Ah, the Prohibitionist Mind.
Don't worry, I'm sure a rapist or someone convicted of attempted murder can be released back onto the streets in order to make room in our prison system for this real criminal...
The article doesn’t mention what he was planning to do with the other 1600 pills. Be interesting to find out.
That is ridiculous.
There are people over 60 amd retirees selling their drugs and I dont have a problem with them. Kinda don’t blame them.
I want LEO to after organized crime.
Some dork selling his pills means nothing to me.
Not enough detail here to see if this was a “righteous” bust or an engineered entrapment to get some poor sucker to sell several of his prescribed pain pills.
In any case, the state may make it easy for the convicted to delay filing for social security until age 70 to maximize his benefits.
Five to 30. He was well known. From 2015:
How much per pill? Heroin is probably cheaper.
He’s just an undocumented pharmacist. We need to bring people like him out of the shadows by granting him a doctorate of pharmacy so he can pay taxes and get right with the law.
Look at his picture. The man is a hot mess and an idiot
Having worked in a big city ER for years I've seen the ravages of drugs...up close and personal.Thirty years sounds about right...particularly if he's a repeat offender.
“....as long as 30 years in prison....”
For the “reading challenged”, the max is 30 years but the actual sentencing will be on May 8. Let’s hear the “whining and teeth gnashing” when it’s your darling son or daughter that ODs on his products.
There are child molesters that don’t get that long!
Yeah because Big Pharma and Gov’t., the Legal Drug Mafia, “don’t like no competition”. Licenses, regulations, fees, and drug laws are all part of their money-making schemes.
When they use “4 pills” it makes it sound excessive - the real question is how many did he have and has he been selling them - and what’s his record on such crimes.....
